Dr. Neal’s lessons from heaven

In her new book, 7 Lessons From Heaven, Mary Neal, M.D., shares what she learned from her incredible near-death experience

We are full of grace

“I experienced grace as God’s love in action—continual forgiveness, encouragement, mercy and compassion,” says Dr. Neal. “And His grace is in us too.”

Don’t fear death

“As I died, I felt only the most beautiful peace and joy and discovered death is not the end,” she describes. “Where God’s love is, there is no room for fear.”

Forgiving sets us free

“I’ve discovered that refusing to forgive chains us to the past, but forgiving lifts our burdens and the weight of bitterness so we can love more freely.”

Heaven is real

“I experienced heaven is a reality where we are made whole—no pain, no sorrow, no suffering. We will be with God and our loved ones forever.”

Big miracles happen

“I believe big miracles happen sometimes; personal miracles happen often. God invites us to notice His miraculous presence all around.”

God has a plan for us

“I learned that God has a plan for each and every one of us, full of hope, purpose and beauty. He wants for us to discover it!”

God is always with us

“In our mistakes and failures, tragedies and losses, God never leaves us. His goodness surrounds us always.”
